It's so beautiful!!!! I'm jealous! When can I move in?! 
You should be very proud of yourself.
That's a lot of work and it certainly shows.
I think my only worry is that one spot with just the board and the empty space above it. I feel like your tort will be climbing over that in no time but his enclosure/yard is so nice I'm not sure where he'd want to go!

Of course there is always the chance that he could but we've tried to take every precaution against that! It is also not very deep!
I think maybe you're referring to the board in the corner by his night box? If so that is where he will dig his burrow! The wood on top is for shade over the opening! At least that is where he dug last summer and I'm hoping that is where he digs again! I don't think he can or will climb on top of it but he can't get out if he does!It's so beautiful!!!!

Here I thought the pond was supposed to be Samson's pool, didn't even think about it not belonging to him!

I mean the one I guess by an opening in the fence?
There's an opening and it looks like there's just a board along the bottom but no gate or anything. There could be a gate, but I might not have seen it.

The pond does belong to him! He's pretty spoiled!
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks, I feel pretty lucky to have him!
I think we're talking about the same board and if so its in the corner of a chain link dog run. That was his first outdoor enclosure, 10x5 covered dog run. His night box is inside the dog run and last summer that spot is where he dug his 6ft long burrow! We keep the gate to the dog run open all the time now. Last year we fenced in a 30x30 section inside our back yard which includes the dog run. This year we doubled the size but continue to leave the dog run in place. Our entire yard is wrought iron fencing. We installed corrugated panels along the bottom of the wrought iron fence so he couldn't see out and to hinder smaller animals from coming in. Our plan and hope is that he is pretty secure but I do realize we're dealing with a sulcata and in all actuality nothing is secure! Pretty sure that by this time next year he'll have free reign of our entire backyard!
